It happened on the way to kindergarten, led by my mother.... more>>

A sweet, clear singing voice reached my ears, and I, a toddler wearing a yellow kindergarten cap, turned around.

In front of the vending machine attached to the stationery store I saw a mysterious woman in her twenties.

Startled, I pointed at her and looked up at my mother.

However, all my mother did was make a puzzled smile and say, ‘What is it? Do you want some juice?’

(My mom can’t see that lady.)

(Maybe she’s different. She’s not human.)

Since then, whenever we approached the stationery store, I would tug my mom’s hand to hurry and move away.

I had thought she was some sort of earthbound spirit or something, unable to leave the area around that vending machine.

But then, one day, I saw her walking around town and humming a tune with her umbrella open!

I fell into a state of panic!

After much thought, one afternoon, I mustered up the courage and went to the front of the stationery store alone to exorcist her—— <<less

It tells the story of a young boy who forms a contract with a troublesome goddess and their journey of love and battles.... more>>

In a time long ago, there was an era where beautiful goddesses fiercely competed for the throne of world rulers. At some point, the goddesses with fangs, disguising themselves with the facade of love, began to peacefully guard the human world.

A young boy named Soujou Shouma, encounters and falls in love with a goddess who secretly came to the human world. After making a promise to meet again someday, he works hard to grow and become a man worthy of the goddess. As a schoolboy, he is appointed as the president of a company.

Upon learning of this, Shouma, in order to fulfill his first love and protect world peace, decides to utilize his company in a special way for the goddesses. He teams up with one of the strongest goddesses, Elvina, who shares his interests, and as the company’s president, joins the battles! <<less

Born to a house where women were only seen as tools to birth children, I was already in my twenties. I was standing on the crossroads of life.... more>>

At my fingertips were close to fifty photos of different men. They were the marriage partner candidates my father had prepared.

Those who took the initiative and volunteered because they wanted his company, and those that were recommended to strengthen our ties with other companies. There were various reasons, but I was to marry one, and build up a child.

That was my reason for existence in this house.

I don’t think I can love another.

I wonder how everyone believes in something so shapeless as love. It was only a marvel to me.

That I couldn’t do something any standard person could must be because I was a person who was never properly loved.

I put a break on the countless unanswered questions I held since my birth, and stared down at the photos around me.

That I chose him was truly a coincidence. <<less

Until, he picks up a poor little guy.

The poor little guy is ignorant and helpless, treating Ou Renjin as his whole world, spending all his salary to buy him gifts, standing in front of him in times of danger without hesitation, even...

"You don't need to wait for me," he said. "Let me chase you. Let me make you my guiding light." <<less

“You…” Xia Feng thought he had misheard.

“You see, you’re looking for someone to marry to ease your mother’s heart, and I also want to get married. We’re right in front of the doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and with all our papers too!” Yu Dong exclaimed while holding up her red household book.

“And the most important thing is that we just broke up with our exes. This is fate, ah!”

Right up until they left the Civil Affairs Bureau again, holding a newly registered red book, Xia Feng remained dazed still wondering, how did he end up getting married?

What was even more shocking than how Li Wei won the world’s highest prize in theoretical physics at such a young age of 35 years old was the fact that he was found dead at home due to committing su*cide the day before the award ceremony.... more>>

In his letter to his student Jackie, he wrote: I have only been doing one thing crazily all these years, and physics is all I have. On the day it ends, the darkness will completely engulf me.

Childhood, upbringing, family background, social relations, traumatic experiences…... more>>

We keep reviewing and seeking out the motives of criminals, exploring the subtlest emotions driving them. It’s not to put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize, or even forgive them; it’s not to find some reasons to exculpate their crimes; it’s not to kneel down before the so-called “complexity of human nature”; nor to introspect social conflicts, much less to alienate ourselves into monsters.

We just want to have a fair trial – for ourselves and for those who still have hope for the world. <<less

A diary of a ghost who is back from hell to get revenge on his ex-boyfriend. The story unfolds over a 7 day period.

Hello, everyone! My name is Shen Jianguo. I am a night school instructor teaching ideological development and Marxist philosophy, occasionally analyzing recent policies and measures for my students.... more>>

All my classes are held in the middle of the night; I've never seen my coworkers or students during the day. The training institute's classrooms are all in abandoned schools, hospitals, or residences. The license plate number of the bus that picks me up is 444; it always arrives at my house at precisely midnight and disappears at five in the morning.

What? You're saying I've met a ghost? Impossible! As a staunch scientific materialist, I absolutely don't believe there's any such thing as ghosts!

I've only had one problem recently: couldn't the training institute hold its classes a little earlier? Wouldn't around 8 PM do? I fear neither heaven nor hell, but I do fear going bald. <<less

Su Guifei¹ was favored and envied by countless imperial consorts in the harem. Chen Wang² grew up with His Majesty showing favoritism to him. However, anyone, who was more or less educated, would sigh with regret and say that this pair of mother and son were sure to come to a bad end in the future.

Ming Jiuzhu, who was about to marry Chen Wang: Really? I don’t believe it.

Chen Wang in Jiuzhu’s eyes: a beautiful and kindhearted little fairy boy vs. Chen Wang in the eyes of others: His Majesty and his favored consort’s hedonistic son.

Jiuzhu often wondered why people always gazed at her and Chen Wang with a ‘you are doomed one way or another’ look. Could this be the ugly side of jealousy?

Aiyah, the hearts of these people are so dirty.

A new café had opened downstairs from the company. The shop’s signature item was neither coffee nor cake, but the boss’s good looks.
Jiang Ying, who was biased about appearances, was not careful and had left her heart over there.
Since then, a trip to Cloudside has become a daily ritual. ... more>>

At some point, Jiang Ying checked her bank account and realized that her financial situation from the past few months was something to worry about.
Thus, she said to Yun Xian, “Boss Yun, I must be your store’s biggest customer. Why don't you consider letting me invest in it? Let's make money together.”

Yun Xian glanced at her as he wiped the glass and said in a flat tone, “Forget about investing.”
Jiang Ying felt like she was wronged. “I help with the taste test every time there’s a new product! When you said you couldn’t fall asleep, I thought of ways to coax you to sleep! I even painted the mural on the wall for you! *sigh* If I can't even invest, then I'm at too much of a loss!”
“Oh, it is a bit of a loss,” Yun Xian said when he learned about her reasoning. “Then I can only let you make up for it by being the boss’s wife.”

Yang Lei turned around. The moment he turned, with the sound of the wind, a brick smashed onto Yang Lei’s head. Yang Lei wasn’t even aware of when someone had gotten close from behind.... more>>

Fresh blood flowed down from his forehead, blurring his eyes. Through the spray of blood, Yang Lei saw a person. A tall and thin, clean man, expressionlessly smashing a second brick onto Yang Lei’s face.

A long time later Yang Lei recalled, what had left the deepest impression in his mind was that white dress shirt on the other person’s body. That white dress shirt was dazzling, white as snow, spotlessly clean; very few fighters dressed so cleanly. That white dress shirt was quickly dyed red with blood, Yang Lei’s blood.

They were gold class fighters, number one warriors of two crime bosses. They had experienced countless fierce battles, establishing their status in Jianghu. From rivals to friends, to brothers who would live together and die together.

What was a brother? Many years later, you say the word, my life, I give to you.
